Ajacket that originally sold for $60.00 was on sale for 10% off. when it didn't sell after several weeks, the sale price was discounted another 40% off the discounted price. what was the final price of the jacket? is the total discount equal to 50%? explain.

The final price of the jacket was $32.40 after both the 10% and 40% discount. The total discount is NOT equal to a 50% discount. When 10% off, the price was $54, bringing the next 40% off to a whole different number, not necessarily off the original price.

I don't know if that makes sense to you, sorry xD
